XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV

Introduction

XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV is an XFINITY On Demand-only service, available for download from the SMART Hub on Samsung Smart TVs. The XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service provides our XFINITY TV customers the ability to search and watch XFINITY On Demand programming on their Samsung Smart TV without a set-top box.

Accessing XFINITY On Demand

The XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service essentially acts as an additional set-top box for your existing XFINITY TV service. But you must subscribe to XFINITY TV with XFINITY On Demand service, meaning you will have a Comcast set-top box or CableCARD device connected to at least one TV in your home. Also, the XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service is only being offered to Comcast customers that purchase both XFINITY TV with XFINITY On Demand service and XFINITY Internet (any speed tier).

If you have an eligible Samsung Smart TV, you can view and download the app from the SMART Hub on Samsung Smart TVs. You will need to log in with your primary Comcast ID and password to begin accessing XFINITY On Demand content.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I have a set-top box in my house already, why do I need to use the XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service?
You don’t. If you have a Comcast set-top box attached to your Samsung Smart TV, you can watch all of your live, linear channels and XFINITY On Demand programming. The XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service, however, is a great way for you to watch XFINITY On Demand programming on your Samsung Smart TV without having to attach a Comcast set-top box to the TV, or if you have a DTA or CableCARD device (which do not provide XFINITY On Demand programming) attached to the TV.

What if I want to access the live, linear channels I get as part of my XFINITY TV subscription on my Samsung Smart TV?
In order to do this, you will need some type of Comcast set-top box, DTA or a CableCARD device connected to your TV.

Do I need this service to watch XFINITY On Demand content on my Samsung Smart TV?
No. If you have a regular set-top box connected to your Samsung Smart TV and subscribe to XFINITY TV with XFINITY On Demand service, it will work as a regular television and give you access to live and On Demand programming, without needing to use the XFINITY TV on Samsung Smart TV service.
